number now stands at 1.4 million (590,000 migrant workers and 140,000 married migrant women), Korean society has become a de-facto multi-ethnic society with a need to protect their rights and set new policy agenda in the field of human rights. At the same time, awareness of human rights of migrant workers is still low and policies lack convergence and effectiveness due to disorganized execution of different agencies. In response, the Commission designed the Guidelines on Human Rights of Migrants based on the belief that the government policies, institutions, and regulations on migrants should be directed with human rights protection and Korea should move toward a society with greater respect for human rights and ethnic diversity. The Guidelines identify 90 key challenges for 30 fields in 7 areas (advancing the rights of migrant workers, married migrant women, migrant children, refugees and stateless persons, and Korean nationals with foreign residency, preventing racial discrimination, and enhancing awareness of migrants) and aims at incorporating them into government policies with mid to long-term perspectives. D. Investigation and Remedies: Civil Rights Violation Committed by Authorities (local governments, schools, etc.) 1) Violation of Publicity Right by a Local Government The Commission investigated and deliberated on a complaint filed by Mr. Kim who accuses a local government for violating the publicity right, right to self-determination, and dignity of some children and their guardians. He alleges that the local government produced public service announcement campaign posters protesting the free-lunch policy by using digitally altered images of children’s faces on half-naked bodies. The posters were published in a number of newspapers with clearly recognizable face images of the children. The Commission ruled the action was in violation of civil rights and recommended the head of the local government to implement regulatory guideline from similar events from 94 Part II.
